• Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  • Once the air fryer is preheated, place the roast in the basket with the fat side facing up. Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes to lock in the juices and caramelize the outside.

  • After 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue cooking the roast for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare.

  • Remove the roast from the air fryer and tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain for the best results.

  • For the best experience while cooking your air fryer pot roast, keep a meat thermometer handy to monitor the internal temperature accurately. Remember to adjust the cooking time based on the weight and thickness of your roast, as larger pieces may require more time.

    If you’d like to make a delicious gravy, collect the pan drippings and mix them with flour and liquid for a tasty sauce to serve alongside your roast. Enjoy your meal!
